I kept getting this error `/usr/local/bin/docker-entrypoint: line 8: exec: filebeat: not found` when running `export HOST_UID=1001; export HOST_GID=1001; docker-compose up`
Here is my `docker-compose.yml` file:
```
version: '3.2'
services:
filebeat:
image: docker.elastic.co/beats/filebeat:7.1.1
container_name: filebeat
user: ${HOST_UID}:${HOST_GID}
entrypoint: bash -c 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/share/filebeat && /usr/local/bin/docker-entrypoint -e'
volumes:
- /jobs:/jobs
- /home/filebeat.yml:/usr/share/filebeat/filebeat.yml
- /home/configs/:/usr/share/filebeat/configs/
- /home/data:/usr/share/filebeat/data
```
I already tried the approach in this link [RE: /usr/local/bin/docker-entrypoint: line 8: exec: filebeat: not found](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/re-usr-local-bin-docker-entrypoint-line-8-exec-filebeat-not-found/177648/2) but it didn't work.
Thanks for your help

What happens when you remove the entrypoint line?

Thanks for your reply ! I got the same error `/usr/local/bin/docker-entrypoint: line 8: exec: filebeat: not found`

Did you try without these exports: `export HOST_UID=1001; export HOST_GID=1001` ?
